[QUOTE="Mantis Lady, post: 319318, member: 10691"] I had a surprise this morning: I got a Dubia roach hatch. (I never intended to breed them. :P ) I saw baby roaches in their box. I think they mated when it was so hot a few weeks ago. I took out the egg thingy and this is the result. I think the babies hatched last night. [IMG]https://s22.postimg.cc/vrmq6v1xd/first_hatch.jpg[/IMG] Then I removed the litte babies and placed them in their own box because I have read somewhere adults can eat the babies. I don't know it is safe to feed them to Leyra and Atyeo. They got new cricket food and some salad for taking water from. And made new homes of an egg case. [IMG]https://s22.postimg.cc/dq3l8v59t/seppaation.jpg[/IMG] But now my question: Their mom ate and drank (gel) maybe ate food that killed my 9 mantids. Is it save to feed them to my mantids? I don't want to put my nymphs lives at risk. [/QUOTE]
